I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling like an outcast. First, I want you to know these feelings are reasonable and you’re not alone in feeling that way. Second, while it may seem hopeless or insurmountable, you can make changes. You have an opportunity now in front of you. You have identified an area in life where you feel inadequate. But you don’t have to feel that way permanently. You can make changes to build up your experience in that area. And I totally understand that it feels hard to know where to start, how to make progress, or whether it’s possible. It can feel demoralizing. But if you’re up for the challenge, you can grow. I have often felt this way and I’ve slowly improved over time — now I’m 28 and have done a number of things I saw everyone else doing when I was 22 feeling like I had already thrown away my life.
